Notes:

  • Each sample interval is represented on a chart by a single point or bar. Data within a selected sample interval is summarized automatically.
  • Due to limits of memory allocation, some combinations of time periods and sample intervals require too many system resources to display, due to the large number of polled data points. As a result, charts may not display if the time period is too long or if the sample interval is too small.
  • Enable the Trend Line option to see potential future results as they are extrapolated from collected historical data.

Due to the broad array of factors that can affect the performance of devices on your network, trend lines provided on SolarWinds SAM charts are intended as approximate predictions of future data only.
